TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) is thrilled once again to have been selected for Forbes’ prestigious list of Canada’s Best Employers. This year, OLG moved up the ranks, placing in the top 15 per cent on the list of companies recognized in 2023.

“It is an honour to again be recognized on Forbes’ list of top employers in Canada and to know that so many of our employees would recommend OLG as a great place to work,” said Duncan Hannay, OLG’s President and CEO. “OLG is an employer of choice, and I am proud to work alongside all OLGers as we transform gaming entertainment in Ontario and make a difference for people throughout the province.”

This year, OLG ranked 41 out of 300 companies on the Canada’s Best Employers List, moving up 12 spots since 2022 — and placed second in its industry.

Forbes and Statista Inc. selected the Canada’s Best Employers 2023 through an independent survey of employees working for companies with more than 500 employees in Canada. The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from employees who were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family.

They support and value their colleagues and celebrate different perspectives and backgrounds. OLG could not do the good we do without the tremendous dedication of our employees.”
